Mobility

Apple directions requests: The insights are drawn from changes from a relative volume of directions requests per country/region or city compared to a baseline volume on January 13th, 2020. Data were not available for the 11/12 May for any location. This data only includes journeys searched for using Apple Maps, and therefore does not include users searching through alternative journey planners. In many countries relative volume has increased since January 13th, consistent with normal, seasonal usage of Apple Maps. Insights are calculated based on data from a subset of users. As with all samples, this may or may not represent the exact behavior of a wider population and the results should be interpreted with caution.

Opinion and lifestyle survey: Information on the survey can be found here. Employed adults are those employed or self-employed; doing casual work for payment; or doing unpaid/voluntary work in the previous week. The 2019 estimate of people working from home is taken from the Annual Population Survey, and is not directly comparable to the Opinions and Lifestyle survey estimate.

Testing and new cases (UK)

Tests: The number of tests includes; (i) tests processed through our labs, and (ii) tests sent to individuals at home or to satellite testing locations.

Cases: Cases are reported when lab tests are completed. This may be a few days after initial testing. Chart date corresponds to the date tests were reported as of the 24 hours before 9am that day. Only includes cases tested positive. There are more cases than confirmed here.

Data from hospitals

Estimated daily admissions with COVID-19 (England): England data captures people admitted to hospital who already had a confirmed COVID-19 status at point of admission, and adds those who tested positive in the previous 24 hours whilst in hospital. Inpatients diagnosed with COVID-19 after admission are assumed to have been admitted on the day prior to their diagnosis.

Critical care beds (UK): Different health systems collect this data differently. In England critical care beds count high dependency units / intensive therapy units beds as critical care beds and this includes the surge capacity which has been introduced in recent weeks. In Wales critical care beds are taken to be invasive ventilation beds including new surge capacity. In Scotland critical care beds include ICU beds and additional surge capacity. In Northern Ireland critical care beds includes all ICU beds.

People in hospital with COVID-19 (UK)

Community hospitals are included in figures for Wales from 23 April onwards. England and Scottish data includes ‘confirmed’ cases, Northern Ireland and Welsh data includes ‘confirmed’ and ‘suspected’ cases. Due to the way Northern Ireland report, the UK figure is calculated by taking the most recent day for Great Britain plus the previous day for Northern Ireland. National data may not be directly comparable as data about COVID-19 patients in hospitals is collected differently across nations. Due to technical difficulties hospitalisation data for 16 May is missing from the Northern Ireland return.

Daily COVID-19 deaths confirmed with a positive test (UK)

Figures on deaths relate to those who have tested positive for COVID-19. The 7-day rolling average (mean) of daily deaths is plotted on the last day of each seven day period.
